FLORIDA POMPANO (Trachinotus carolinus), also called Carolina Pompano or Cobbler

This fish has it all. Gourmets consider it a delight; both sport and commercial fisherman eagerly seek it. Fun to catch on hook and line with artifical or natural bait; netted by commercial fisherman and now being bred in ponds with some success. Average weight about 1 or 2 pounds, but occasionally to 6 or 7 pounds.
